Historical relic of Con Tau weapons reception station

Con Tau weapons receiving port relic site is located in Con Egg hamlet, Truong Long Hoa commune, Duyen Hai district, Tra Vinh province. In July 1959, to provide resources for the Southern revolution in the war against America to save the country, the Politburo decided to establish a military transport unit at sea - Group 759 (later changed to Group 125). By early 1961, the Central Government issued instructions to provinces including Ba Ria, Ben Tre, Tra Vinh, and Ca Mau to prepare yards and organize ships to the North to explore routes to transport weapons to the South. In September 1962, comrade Pham Thai Buong, Member of the Party Central Committee, Member of the Central Committee of the Southern Department, decided to establish Group 962 to manage the weapons receiving ports in the provinces. Tra Vinh wharf is directly in charge of comrade Le Van Sen (Nam Sen) - Deputy Political Commissar of Group 162. At this time, the Tra Vinh Provincial Party Committee decided to choose two coastal communes, Truong Long Hoa and Long Vinh, in Duyen Hai district (now communes: Truong Long Hoa and Dan Thanh in Duyen Hai town; Dong Hai and Long Vinh communes). in Duyen Hai district) to open a weapons receiving station. Ben cluster 1 is in the area of ​​Rach Co - La Ghi, wharf cluster 2 is in the area of ​​Phuoc Thien, Ho Tau, Khau Lau, Lang Nuoc. These areas are revolutionary bases and are always the target of enemy attacks, so hiding and transporting weapons is extremely difficult. On March 17, 1963, Tra Vinh Wharf received the first train into Phuoc Thien Wharf. With a terrain of interlaced rivers and mangrove forests with many low trees, ships with large tonnage could be pressed into to camouflage, and the ship was safely hidden. Next was the second trip to Lang Nuoc airport carrying 70 tons of weapons. From 1963 to 1966, Tra Vinh Wharf welcomed 16 trips with 689 tons of cargo. Con Tau Port alone welcomed 10 flights, of which in 1963 welcomed 4 flights, in 1964 welcomed 6 flights. Although operating for only a short time, Tra Vinh Wharf is an important link of the Ho Chi Minh maritime route and Con Tau Wharf is the focus of that important link. In 2004, Con Tau Weapons Receiving Wharf was recognized as a national historical-cultural relic. By 2010, the Con Tau Weapons Receiving Wharf relic area was invested in construction and put into operation with an area of ​​1.2 hectares, including a memorial stele and a house displaying images and artifacts associated with the soldiers' victories. Tra Vinh's army and people towards the Ho Chi Minh Road at sea. Visiting the relic site, visitors can light incense sticks to commemorate the heroic martyrs who died while on duty on the Ho Chi Minh maritime route, visit the Exhibition House, and look at the Memorial Stele rising high in the sky. The new sunlight reminds us of the victories of the past and the resilient fighting tradition of our ancestors in the struggle for national liberation. Source: Tra Vinh Tourism Promotion Center
